"Bummy" Lighting System.
Everybody knows that we have not
had decent electric lights on. our
streets and today we really have none
at all, excepting the four 9a Exchange
Place. Everybody ought to know by
this time, th_"t there is no Srospect for
anything better .under present conditions, and evreybofiy knows that we
ought to *_ave good lights and the
Enterprise believes that most people
want to use them. What the coHncil
ought to do is to ascertain if the
Kingsley water power is sufficient to
give power for a plant capable for supplying good lights for the streets, the
stores and residences. A . practical
electrical engineer should be at once
employed to go over the plant and village and investigate the -Kingsley
proposition to see if it can be of practical use and sufficient for our needs
at the price asked. If all the points
are ia favor of his proposition and
the price is not -too high, then the village should be asked to vote on the
proposition to issue bonds to buy it.
If it is.found that the plant oould be
*sed to advantage, but the price asked
is too high, offer what we can afford
to give and if he will not accept it,
then see what can be done with the
Washtenaw Power Co., at Geddes or
The Conffmonwealth Co., of Jackson,
by way ot Chelsea, or set about work
on plans for a steam plant. But get
busy, stop the -everlasting delay, which
has been characterized as "child's
play," and do something, to encourage
people to live and do business in the
village. On account of the poor lights,
many of the Dusiness'men have been
compelled to put gasoline plants in
their places in order to light them and
something ought to be done immediately to light the streets, as wemen
are afraid to venture out in the darkness because of the report that some
Jpave beea accostd or followed by
«5fR_tS»rs.—Manchester  Enterprise.
Cross Bill Filed.
An answer and cross bill was filed
with the circuit court by Thomas A.
Bogle, solicitor pro se, in the case of
Thoodone Mast vs. George H. Purchase, EImer"C. Glenn et. al. This is
the case of the oil well and lease into
which -a number of "University professors and other Ann Arbor people put
their money.
The answer claims the benefit of a
cross bill against Messrs. Purchase
and Glenn and avers that no full Or
detailed statement of the affairs of
the company has been made by the
trustees for the oil lease and well and
no sum equivalent ,to this. Further
that Messrs. Purtehase and Glenn have
i» their hands ?5,000 and that on a
just and true settlement a large balance is due the other persons in the
company. The answer prays the court
that an account be taken of all the
company's transactions and that the
defendants, Purchase and Glenn, be
ordered to pay to the persons interested wnat appears to be due them.—

A Just Order.
" The case of Frank Sharpey, formerly of Dexter, who was- sent to Pontiac
several years ago at the expense of
the state and county and whom the
prosecuting attorney discovered had a
small place in addition to his pension
of $144 a year was heard this morning in the probate court. The Gase
was started to compel the guardian to
reimburse th.e county for the amount
of the expensie to which it has been
in his care in as much as Mr. Sharpey
has no one dependent on his property.
It was found that the -property was
incumbered but the gHardian was
ordered to turn over the amount of
the pension, ?144 per year, for his
keeping. This is one of several similar cases in which the prosecuting
attorney has made the expense of the

SOME farmers lose hours m the harvest field when

AND condemn a binder that wpuld work all light if
they used Plymouth Twine.
YOU know by experience that poor twine, though
purchased at a low price is an expensive article.
BECAUSE such twine is often short length, and
uneven it'breaks when tying the bundles.

REMEMBER  eyery ball of twine naving Plymouth
